1800 Tequila Essential Artists Series by Okuda San Miguel

?6 BOTTLES TOTAL

The Essential 1800 Artists Series 10th anniversary collection features six limited-edition bottles displaying original Pop Surrealism works by Okuda. His distinctive style of colorful geometric patterns featuring his signature Rainbow Skull and Kaos Star, encourages reflections of origin, destiny and the meaning of life, hinting that time is our most precious asset. To move the experience from bottle to virtual, this year's Essential 1800 Artists Series innovates with an AR experience that transforms each bottle into a Snapchat marker, launching an eye-catching and unique filter for fans to engage with Okuda-themed lenses.

"It has been an exciting challenge to design my first series of tequila bottles for this 10th anniversary of the Essential 1800 Artists Series," says Okuda San Miguel. "I loved working with this new format, which I view as a canvas immersed in liquid. As an artist, I need to create in order to be happy and my biggest motivation is the enjoyment I get in discovery and encouraging cultural dialogue."

San Miguel continued, "For my collaboration with 1800 Tequila, I wanted to produce work that represents my ethos as an artist. For example, my use of different colors in the skin of the characters I paint shows that we are all, in fact, equal; and the geometry represents modernity and the digital world. One of my favorite icons is the skull, a symbol of life, which is reflected on one of six of my Essential 1800 Artists Series bottles. Whether people see my work on the street, on a canvas, or on a bottle of 1800 Silver tequila, my artistic message is open to interpretation by the beholder."
